• DIY Photo Board Art Projects: The speaker shares their long-standing habit of creating seasonal wall art by printing personal photos onto inexpensive press boards. They discuss plans to upgrade from manual printing at stores to setting up a calibrated home print station for greater creative control.
• Why Big Prints Sell Better: The hosts discuss how increasing the size of landscape prints to a ‘big screen TV’ scale makes them feel more immersive and valuable, justifying higher price points for buyers. They agree that charging premium prices is essential for talented photographers and plan to execute this strategy on upcoming Wallowa and Cascade Range photos.
• Photographing Winter Bald Eagle Migration: The host discusses the return of bald eagles to Oregon’s Willamette Valley, noting their dominance behaviors while perching. He emphasizes the necessity of using high-quality telephoto lenses to capture these distant birds effectively during migration.
